ILIA Drawn In NightLite Bronzing Powder ($34.00 for 0.42 oz.) is a light brown with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, and it needed to be used with a fairly light hand (and possibly a less-dense brush) for more buildable coverage, which was how it was marketed.

The texture felt smooth, silky, and wasn't powdery, so it sat well on bare skin, but it was harder to blend out if skin was remotely emollient. I don't have oily skin, but the natural oils on my skin made spreading and diffusing the product more challenging. I would recommend applying it over a drier base, whether just-set foundation or a matte primer. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly on my skin.
